Who You Are 

You’re a growth operator who likes to build.

You don't just identify opportunities or create strategies — you turn ideas into working things. Maybe you've built a website or landing experience, created an internal tool, prototyped a product, developed a new workflow, or used AI to build something that previously would have required significantly more time or resources.

You’re deeply curious about what new technology makes possible and constantly experimenting. AI isn't just something you use to write copy or summarize reports — it's expanding what you're personally able to create.

You also understand growth and acquisition, with hands-on experience across paid search and paid social. You know how customers are acquired, how funnels work, and how to use data to diagnose performance across CAC, ROAS, conversion, and other key growth metrics.

Most importantly, you see a problem and want to build the solution.

What You’ll Do 

• Identify growth opportunities and turn them into experiments, tools, workflows, and customer experiences
• Build, test, and optimize acquisition strategies across paid search and paid social, including Google and Meta
• Own and improve key growth metrics, including CAC, ROAS, conversion, and funnel performance
• Build and test landing experiences, audiences, messaging, creative, and new growth ideas
• Use AI and emerging technologies to prototype, automate, and launch ideas faster
• Analyze customer and performance data to understand what's working, what's broken, and what to build next
• Build systems and workflows that replace manual processes and make the growth organization more effective
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, and Creative when needed — while maintaining a bias toward building and testing yourself

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in growth, acquisition, performance marketing, advertising, product growth, or a related field
• Evidence that you've personally built things — websites, prototypes, products, workflows, internal tools, reporting systems, or other working solutions
• Hands-on experience with paid search and paid social, particularly Google Ads and Meta
• Strong understanding of CAC, ROAS, conversion optimization, funnel performance, and growth measurement
• Strong analytical instincts and comfort using data to diagnose problems and make decisions
• Demonstrated use of AI to build or create — beyond basic copywriting, research, or reporting
• A track record of taking ideas from problem → prototype → test → iteration
• Curiosity about emerging technology and a habit of experimenting with new tools
• Comfort operating outside your traditional area of expertise and learning quickly
• A bias toward direct execution rather than relying entirely on agencies, vendors, or other team

Benefits and Perks

• Long-Term Disability & Short-Term Disability
• Hospital Indemnity Insurance, Accident Plan, and Employee Critical Illness (Guardian)
